  • 1.  Elevators, Residential- Looking for recomendations from experience

    Posted 2 days ago

    I am a one person firm and haven't had the occassion previously to specify a residential elevator.  I would welcome some general thoughts on Hydraulic vs. Cable Drum systems and which have been the most successful from your client's point of view.  Speed, noise, reliabity may be considerations.

    Also, I would like to see if designers have had success with the Inclinator Company or with Fox Valley Elevators.

    thanks in advance for your thoughts.

    Hi Robert,

    I used Arrow Lift for a residential elevator and dumbwaiter design. The projects unfortunately did not get built, but the Arrow Lift rep was very helpful in explaining the systems and providing project specific details that I was able to get through the permit plan check process without any hiccups. 
    I have not worked with the other 2 companies you mentioned.

    Regards,
    Daniel Guich
